How to assemble an Xbox Controller
The disassembly of an xbox controller is pretty complex compared to a lot of other objects. You will need a T8H and a T6 screwdriver to unscrew 5
of the hidden screws in the back of the controller to access the internal parts. Once the 5 screws are taken out you are going to need to pry off the
left and the right back side of the controller. With the screws out this should be fairly simple. Once they are taken out you can take apart the main
frame of the back. This will reveal the circuit board, the motors for the vibration of the controller, and the back of the triggers. You can now pry off
the support bar at the top of the back side of the controller. Once that is taken off then the bumpers and triggers should easily come off. Now turn
the controller over to the front and you can take off the main frame of the front side. Once that is taken off you can pull off the two analog sticks with
ease. You can also take off the d-pad. Then you can take the buttons out.
The assembly of an xbox controller is more simple than you would think.
Step 1. Place the analog sticks and the d-pad into their spot. They should easily slide into their spot. Also put in the buttons in the order they are in
below.
Step 2. Place the front frame of the controller back on once all the buttons, analog sticks, and d pad are in place.
Step 3. Turn the controller over to the back side and place the bumpers and triggers into their spot. Then you will need to attack the support bar to
the top of the back of the controller to snap in the bumpers and triggers.

Step 4. Now that the support bar, triggers, and bumpers are intact, we can now attach the main frame of the back onto the controller. The frame of
the back should snap into the frame of the front. With them snapped in you can now start screwing in all of your screws with your T6H screwdriver.
Step 5. Attach the two accessory backs to the main back to finish off the assembly of the controller. They should snap into place.
Proposed Improvements to the Xbox 360 Controller
1.
I propose an additional Arby's button and Taco Bell button, so when gamers get hungry they can press the button
and then DoorDash will automatically pick up an order that’s pre-made on a mobile phone.

2.
I also propose a wrist strap for the controller. The purpose of this is when gamers get extremely angry and try to
throw their controller. With the wrist strap, the controller wouldn’t be able to hit a wall and break or hit a wall and tv
and break both.
